Tell me more about the Washington’s presidency and the new political parties

During George Washington's presidency, two new political parties emerged: the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans.

The Federalists believed in a strong central government, a loose interpretation of the Constitution, and a close relationship with Great Britain.

The Democratic-Republicans, on the other hand, wanted a limited central government, strict interpretation of the Constitution, and a greater focus on America's relationship with France.

Washington was initially hesitant to express his political views, but eventually he sided with the Federalists.

He appointed several Federalist leaders to key positions in his cabinet, such as Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury and John Adams as Vice President.

Washington also declared the neutrality of the United States in the war between Great Britain and France, and refrained from taking sides.

Washington's Farewell Address was considered a major statement on his political views, and he warned against the dangers of political parties and foreign entanglements.
